Birding the Empire State Building

That’s right, there are creatures to see at the famous skyscraper other than a giant ape. What’s it like birding at one of New York City’s famous landmarks? Benjamin Van Doren has the story at Warblings.

Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their indoor cat, B.B. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.

Thanks for the link! I’ve been birding with Benjamin before and he is something to behold … an amazing talent, and so young. I had no idea he had a blog; will have to bookmark it.
